Feb 14 Peace on the Job

Do you have a toxic job?
Or does your job add to your peace?
Many of us spend more time at work than we spend with our families. This is a big chunk of our lives.
You may have found that when you work with a wonderful bunch of people it can make a tedious job pleasant. But when your colleagues are backbiting or hostile, when coworkers complain, compete, or slough off work that you end up doing for them, when you work in a climate of fear, nastiness and constant griping, your job is an obstacle to peace.
Do you think you are stuck, with no options?
The world is changing quickly, and the kind of work we do is changing with it. This is a good time to think outside the box.
If you think creatively, if you are open to new ideas and willing to learn new skills, you may find new possibilities. It is possible to have a job that adds to your peace.
If you have a toxic job, think about alternatives to staying in that job.
